Heath Miller announced his retirement after 11 seasons in the NFL.

33 years old, Miller will retire as the Steelers' all-time leader in touchdowns (45) and catches (592) by a tight end. A fan favorite throughout his 11-year stay in Pittsburgh, Miller played in three Super Bowls and emerged with two rings. He was also named to two Pro Bowls. 2015 fifth-round pick Jesse James is the favorite to take over as the Steelers' new starting tight end. Miller has the sixth most receptions all time by an NFL tight end, but his Hall of Fame odds are long. He certainly deserves a place in the Steelers' Ring of Honor. Fri, Feb 19, 2016 02:16:00 PM

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette expects Heath Miller back with the Steelers in 2016.

33-year-old Miller's receiving contributions and particularly his run blocking have fallen off in recent years, but he's owed a reasonable $4 million in 2016 and remains by-far the best tight end on the Steelers' roster. Perhaps he'll lose a few more snaps to rising sophomore Jesse James in 2016, but Miller is a virtual lock to open the season as the Steelers' starting tight end. Wed, Jan 27, 2016 09:08:00 PM

Heath Miller caught 1-of-3 targets for five yards in the Steelers' Divisional Round loss to the Broncos.

In a game where the Steelers needed help blocking outside rushers Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware -- and still didn't contain them -- it's no surprise Heath had a slow game. Miller, 33, is owed a reasonable $4 million base salary in 2016. Still, the Steelers may consider scaling back his snaps and upticking Jesse James' if James shows signs of development in 2016 training camp. Sun, Jan 17, 2016 08:30:00 PM

Miller was an offensive factor in the first two meetings with Cincinnati this season, but he took a backseat in this slugfest. Miller managed just three catches for 12 yards against Denver in Week 15. He will not be a DFS option against the Broncos next week. Sun, Jan 10, 2016 12:47:00 AM
